Ólafur Arnalds to curate latest Late Night Tales compilation

The Icelandic composer's mix will feature noises from Jai Paul, Julianna Barwick, Samaris, James Blake, and more, including an three exclusive tracks from Arnalds (one's a cover of Destiny's Child's "Say My Name"), an exclusive Odesza instrumental, and an exclusive from Arnalds' techno project Kiasmos. David Tennant also contributes a spoken word piece at the end.

Arnalds says of his Late Night Tales instalment:

“When I was asked to do the next installation of the Late Night Tales series I thought 'This will be fun and easy, only a couple of days work. No problem!'. Six months later, I was still pulling my hair out in some kind of quest to make the perfect mix. As someone who has never really done mixes before, I learned a lot of things along the way and the whole experience was very inspiring. I decided to approach the mix in a similar way as I would one of my scores. This is the soundtrack of my life. I included songs from many of my friends and collaborators and tried to deliver a mix that represents who I am as an artist and where my influences are coming from - both personally and musically.”

Late Night Tales: Ólafur Arnalds is out 24 June.
